NOTE: On December 3, 2015 a Notice of Porposed Rulemaking (NPRM) was published with a 30-day comment period. The NPRM proposes changes to the 2015 discretionary grant competition. You may access the NPRM at this link: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2014-12-03/pdf/2014-28354.pdf. If submitting comments please be sure to get these in no later than January 2, 2015. The main OIE web page has the link to the Federal Register Notice including additional information here: http://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/oese/oie/index.html. The final version of the regulations will publish later this Spring along with a Notice Inviting Applications (NIA).
